The answer

It is permissible for the creditor to take something other than the type of his debt when it becomes due. However, it is not permissible to take a commodity described in the liability in exchange for the debt, due to the annulment of the debt in a specific item whose possession is delayed, whether the commodity is of the same type as the debt or not.
